Ah, the age-old debate: 🏎️ #IndyCar vs. #F1 🚀. Spoiler alert: they're both cars, and they both go fast. But hey, let’s spend 10,000 words pretending this isn't just another excuse for car nerds to argue over which is the real 'ultimate driving machine' 🙄.

Happy (belated) 91st birthday to the legend Jim Dunn. It is such an honor to photograph these Legends. This portrait was captured in my small tent studio at the 2023 Nitro Revival.

This is not the kind of photograph that gets a lot of likes or attention but I find myself drawn more and more to moments like this. It’s the kind of photograph that you need to spend a little time looking at to see what I saw and what inspired me to press the shutter right at this moment. I shoot a lot of film so every time I press the shutter it costs me money – I don’t take that lightly. I’m always looking for moments with a lot of details so that the photograph is not a one-trick-pony. There are times for that for sure but as I look at historical photographs the ones I find most interesting are ones that give me a more in-depth look at the moment captured. The older the photograph the more important the details seem to be because so many of the elements of that moment are gone forever – the people, the location, the fashion, the experience that everyone was having at that exact split second is never to happen again in the same way, ever. That is one of the things I love about photography – every single photograph is history.

There is something special to me about the RPM Barona Drags. The combination of the location, the track, the people and the entire experience makes me feel like I’m taking a step back in time. The track is old, rough around the edges and a bit unkempt – but that’s not a critique, it’s part of what makes it special. It feels like I’ve taken a step back in time to the 60’s or 70’s and you can feel the ghosts of races past and the decades of memories made here – in all of the right ways. It kind of makes me feel like a kid again with my face mashed against the chain link fence close enough to make my ears ring and smell the hot cylinders exploding in front of me. I really haven’t found an experience quite like this anywhere else. The RPM team always puts on a fantastic event and the mix of hot rods, dragsters and madmen (and women!) pummeling their cars down the track was absolutely perfect. I hope that with this short series you might get just a little taste of the magic found here and tempt you to come experience this for yourself.
